Puzzle has been a long lasting organization that works behind the scenes within the nation of Ostania. Many, many wanna-be detectives want to join this organization to obtain the profession that they had wanted to. But, if you were to undergo the requirements that Puzzle wants, you would be better off working as a cashier.

Puzzle has five different divisions. The intelligence seekers, whom seek intelligence through different networks, the Keeper is the highest ranking in this role. The gadget creators, who create the gadgets that Puzzle seeks for, with high tech properties. The detectives in training, such as Ryan. The highly trained bodyguards, who train their body to their utmost limit, and were signed a contract to be willing to risk their lives to protect the detective they were assigned to, such as Garhender. And the highest ranking role in Puzzle, was the detectives themselves. Those who can provide all four of these roles, and get the job done.

Akari was one of the top three of all detectives. She wielded knowledge that an average human could only wish. Her body can withstand and perform exponentially better than most. And her powers of the five senses help her even more. She's highly respected within the perimeters of the headquarters. Yet, who were the top two?

Akari goes by the name "Cruel Hero" which had already explained what type of detective she had been. Yet, the top two had rather mysterious names.

The Unknown was number one of the Puzzle corporation, and almost no one knew about this person. This person was so "unknown" that the people of Puzzle don't even know what the gender is of this person. The Unknown is always busy with other tasks and missions. The Unknown would never find themself within the headquarters of Puzzle. Sometimes, even Cruel Hero wondered who this person was.

Perpetual was no different from the Unknown. No one had ever seen Perpetual, and there was barely any information about this person. There was one thing about this detective, what comes in, never comes out. This detective's victims will remember the Perpetual.

So... why out of nowhere would the Unknown, number 1 of Puzzle want to have a meeting? This meeting was definitely going to be important, would this prove what type of person The Unknown was? Or perhaps Perpetual would also be there.

Cruel Hero, someone who was never scared of many things was quite frightened meeting the only two people who had been above her for the longest time ever. Ryan was so scared, it was almost like he was going to piss his pants.

The two were going to the train station, Akari had her mask removed, as Ryan was walking beside her. As they continued to walk, they walked up to one of the ticket booths. Akari was kinda bummed, yet hyped at the same time. Normally, she would have declined to come to a meeting, since the Forgers were going to have some type of castle to hang out in. But, this was a meeting by the Unknown.

"I'm so nervous... DO YOU THINK I LOOK OKAY??" Ryan asked, scared out of his life. He was so scared he looked like he was about to faint.

"Don't worry, you look fine," Akari replied, walking up to the booth. And to her surprise (perhaps not really), Noah was looking at her with dreamy eyes.

"Heyy Akari, it's been a while," Noah asked, keeping his eyes and attention on Akari, as he watched the girl he noticed Ryan, "Who's this?"

"Ryan," he said, as he smiled brightly. Noah nodded his head, not really caring. He then looked back at Akari to continue the conversation, but she had just wanted to get to the meeting.

"Can we get tickets to the west of Ostania," Akari asked, as Noah chuckled.

"You bet," he replied, as he went over to get some tickets. Ryan glared at Noah. Slightly annoyed by his attitude. Akari noticed this, and just sighed while looking away. Noah had soon returned with the tickets, and lazily gave it to Akari, before he held out his hand.
